More than 200 small animals living in overcrowded conditions inside a double-wide trailer and a small metal shed were rescued this week by Oregon Humane Society investigators. The pets were voluntarily relinquished to OHS by the owner, an Oregon City resident who is under investigation for possible animal neglect.
OHS is seeking to place the animals in in homes as soon as possible. Beginning this Friday, many of the rescued animals, including chinchillas, mice, gerbils, Guinea pigs, lovebirds and parakeets, will be offered for adoption at reduced prices.
OHS Humane Special Agents are commissioned by the Oregon State Police and have full police power to enforce animal cruelty laws throughout the state. They receive no tax dollars and are supported through donations to OHS. Your gift today will help rescues tomorrow.
